Location: Salongen
Avneesh Singh, Chief Operation Officer, DAISY Consortium will lead the discussion.
The DAISY Technical Strategies Forum has worked with the community and compiled the requirements for the next-generation protocol for delivering accessible content. A part of the process has been to evaluate the existing protocol OPDS and DODP v1 and v2, and how they meet the requirements set forth by the community. In this session we will discuss the following topics:
- Is there a need for a next-generation protocol, which would compel the organizations to invest on creating/upgrading their systems?
- The requirements document, discussions on constraints and potential candidates
- Next steps
We are looking forward to a good discussion where we can learn more about the community’s needs and thoughts and work out the plan ahead.
